Book of the Otherworld

Chapter 339 Ancient City at the Center of the Earth
Tianyan glanced at the empty square ahead, "I saw a battle, an unavoidable battle. But don't worry, we can easily win."

Xing Tianyu nodded, and walked towards the ancient city ahead.

Others followed, and the group set foot on this barren red plain. Under the crimson light above their heads, they headed towards the huge city ahead. Behind them, the low building where the teleportation array hall was located Buildings are gradually left behind.

The further they walked, the more they could clearly feel that an inexplicable will, a sense of existence that could not be ignored, lay in front of everyone, making them feel inexplicably uneasy.It's like a human child walking towards a sleeping giant.Even without seeing the true face of the giant beast, just hearing its breathing and smelling its stench is enough to make people feel nervous.

This kind of pressure is not only in the heart, but also reflected in reality.The prediction and detection effects of magic and supernatural powers have been distorted to varying degrees, so that the effect of the positioning technique used by Sylvia appears and disappears from time to time, and the detection magic cannot be used.

Only the eyes of Tianyan are still clear and bright.

Several people remained vigilant. Xing Tianyu released the spirit body in the crystal ball, and Sylvia used magic to transform more than a dozen magic hounds. They are translucent dog-shaped creatures made of arcane energy. It is about the same as a large hunting dog. This combat strength is of course meaningless in such a dangerous place, but because their bodies are lighter, their speed is abnormally fast, and their eyes and ears are sharp, they are extremely effective detection methods.

Not to be outdone, the Blood Duke used blood magic to transform into a dozen red bats. These scouts spread out in all directions, scouting the surrounding environment to ensure the safety of the team.

The group had advanced less than 1000 meters when a magic hound suddenly stopped as if it had discovered something. "Wow." It let out a vigilant roar, and its body made of magic amplified the volume, which was surprisingly ear-piercing in this empty and quiet square.

"Everyone, be careful, there is something nearby," Sylvia said.

At this time, another hound also howled, and its howling was immediately responded. From a pile of abandoned rocks, a big red claw suddenly stretched out, and it was caught in the magical beast at once. on the hound.The body made up of an extremely small amount of arcane energy was extremely fragile, and instantly turned into scattered lights, and immediately after, a huge monster emerged from the rock pile.

It looked like a cross between a spider and a crab, with eight opposing thin legs, a rock-like carapace covered with spikes, and a pair of huge pincers.It was four or five meters long, and it rushed out like that.

"It's unbelievable that there are living creatures here." Franken exclaimed, "If you have the opportunity, you must study it."

However, other people didn't have such carelessness. Sylvia burst the ice directly, and she released a ball of white light the size of a washbasin. It hit the giant crab's body, and the frost energy in the ball of light gushed out. It came out and instantly froze it in place, and then Sylvia made up for it with another bolt of lightning. With a bang, the seemingly indestructible huge body made of rocks suddenly shattered into pieces.

"Nice job!" Tianyan exclaimed.

However, before the applause was over, more giant crabs emerged from the surrounding rocks.The seemingly flat and lifeless crimson plain hides so many strange creatures, which is beyond everyone's expectations.However, facing the giant rock crabs that surrounded them from all directions, everyone was not too nervous.

Although those cancers seem to be very strong, and there are a lot of them, if they were ordinary people, they would probably only run away in despair, but among the people present, which one is an ordinary person?Sylvia's magic can be vented to the fullest. Since she strengthened the blood of the magic elves, she no longer has to worry about the symptoms of magic addiction. Naturally, this magic is very unscrupulous, and for this action, she is fully prepared The arcane essence and magic potion, this kind of magic was thrown out like no money, and those cancerous crabs were blasted to pieces one by one by her.

Lucifer also summoned several powerful demons, who also tore apart the bodies of these monsters.

The Blood Duke also used blood magic at the beginning, but unfortunately it didn't seem to have any effect on these rock monsters. After he tried a few times and found it was useless, he could only hide aside and watch the fun.

Franken dismantled these giant crabs with bare hands, but there was no pressure. His mutated body was extremely powerful, and the scales on his body were even more invulnerable, like a biochemical monster.

The Sky Eye and the Sleepless basically didn't contribute much.

In less than 5 minutes, these rock giant crabs were killed one after another, leaving only rock fragments on the ground.

"It looks very simple." Xing Tianyu cut the last rock giant crab in half with a sword, but he had a little more confidence in the eyes of Tianyan.

At this moment, the ground suddenly trembled again, and more rock giant crabs came out, not only that, but also some strange creatures made of rocks, some were more than ten meters high, and some were like centipedes, with Strange, arthropod-like body.

Although they are different in shape, they all have the same characteristic, that is, they appear to have a certain rocky, crystallized appearance.

Seeing dense crowds of monsters approaching from all directions, Sylvia was about to make another big move, but Xing Tianyu grabbed her hand. "Don't waste time here, we must preserve our strength, follow me." He said as he took the lead and ran towards the huge city in the distance, and everyone hurriedly followed.Sylvia released a gust of wind power at the right time, and everyone immediately felt as light as a swallow, with the wind blowing from the soles of their feet, and the speed was more than doubled. In the blink of an eye, a group of people rushed into the gate of the city.Those rock creatures rushed to the outside of the gate, but stopped as if they were afraid of something, and returned to their original positions one after another, turning into piles of rock-like things.

"These creatures all look like the appearance of ancient creatures. I think they should be some kind of artificial product, perhaps a defense measure of the Sakaduum people, just like robots." Sleepless seems to be talking to himself, It seems to be expressing his own opinion.

"It makes sense, but if this is the case, then the king of nightmares in the city must have already prepared." Xing Tianyu said while looking around, where they are, this ancient underground city One of the entrances, an empty hall-like place, with several paths leading to different directions around the hall.

But in front of them, facing the entrance of the gate, stood a huge statue of Sakaduum, a spherical creature with a huge one-eyed staring at them like a living thing.

And in front of the statue, there was a stone platform. On it, everyone saw some weird stone slabs with strange rune-like things drawn on them. This thing was very similar to what he saw on the teleportation array. Next to the rune, everyone also found a psionic crystal, which was inlaid in the center of the stone slab.

Xing Tianyu recognized the characters.

It reads - Lafatian City: Refuge of the Saccaduums
"This should be some kind of Sakaduum device, and it should be activated with psionic energy." Xing Tianyu said.

The reason for saying this is because he has discovered that in the eyes of the Sakaduum people, psionic energy seems to be used in the same way as electricity is used in human society. It is widely used, which is not difficult to understand. After all, the Sakaduum people He is a born psionic mage, and it is natural to develop related technologies.

Xing Tianyu tried to infuse some psionic energy into the psionic energy crystal on the slate, and a white three-dimensional map was immediately projected on the slate.

This three-dimensional map has a diameter of two or three meters and is suspended in the air. It is a perspective view of a city.

"It's a [-]D model of the city." Sylvia said in surprise, she pointed to a red dot on the edge of the city, "This should be where we are." She pointed to a huge one in the center of the city A space covered by shadows, "This should be where the Nightmare King is."

Xing Tianyu nodded, "It's very possible, we try not to contact him, so it's easy. It seems that there are many such devices in this city, and they can be activated with psionic power. ?”

"I know a little." Tianyan raised his hand, "Barely considered an intermediate psionic mage."

"I'll have a little too," said the Sleepless Man.

Xing Tianyu thought in his heart that three of the seven people knew psionic magic, which would be very convenient. "Very good, then let's move on." Several people chose a path and started to move forward. The bat of the Duke of Blood and Sylvia's magic hound were still exploring the way.Behind Lucifer's devil, a group of people marched along the winding passage toward the depths of the city.

The architectural style of the Sakadumu people is very peculiar. The passage is not square, but circular, like a huge pipe. From time to time, circular holes can be seen on the surrounding walls, leading to I don’t know where, there are no stairs in this underground city, the path up or down is the whole slope, in addition to that, there are many shaft-like things connecting the upper and lower levels, which is probably due to the fact that the people of Sakaduum It has no legs and is spherical in shape.In addition, they can use spiritual energy to float into the air, so they were built in such a shape.

But when humans walk inside, they will have a very weird feeling, as if walking in the body of a huge monster.

There are many forks around the road they are advancing, leading to different rooms, halls, and warehouses and other areas. However, after some simple investigations of those places, everyone found that there was nothing there, nothing.

It appears that the city was not put into use.

The group did not stray far from the main route.

Moreover, this city is not only weird, but also very quiet. The city is very large, probably due to the need to accommodate a large number of people as a refuge, but now it is empty. Walking all the way, the surroundings are dark, silent and there is no sound .

Thinking that he might be the first human being to walk into this city in millions of years, Xing Tianyu couldn't help being excited and uneasy.

As he was walking, Xing Tianyu suddenly squeaked under his feet. Some mucus-like things appeared at some point on the dry and solid road surface. He looked around, and the traces of mucus were not obvious, but they seemed to be silky. Like meridians, they grow everywhere, even on the surrounding walls, some are purple like slime, and some are red like blood vessels.

"What the hell is this?"

"I don't know, but I don't think it's a good thing." Tianyan pulled a red blood vessel from the wall and looked at it, a trace of solemnity flashed in his eyes.

"What do you see?"

"I saw a terrible existence. This is not something on earth. I'm afraid there will be a battle waiting for us."

But Franken also tore off a piece of red blood vessel-like thing, looked at it for a while, and suddenly put it in his mouth and began to chew.

"It's some kind of biological nervous system," he said. "Don't worry, I have a way of dealing with this thing."

Several people continued to move forward, and there were more and more traces on the wall, and more and more slime on the ground. Xing Tianyu even noticed that there were some fern-like granulation hanging upside down on the wall.

"My God, what is that!?" The Blood Duke exclaimed suddenly.

Everyone looked in the direction he indicated. A granulation protruded from the gap between the walls, and a yellow eyeball the size of a pigeon egg grew on the top of the granulation, motionless. Annotate everyone.

The granulation is connected to the red blood vessel, which seems to be part of these things.

As soon as Xing Tianyu raised his hand, he smashed the eye with spiritual energy, but soon he found that it seemed futile, those blood vessel-like things seemed to spread all over this area, forming a huge network-like thing, As a result, this kind of eyes grew everywhere, watching their arrival from every corner, gap, above the head, and under the feet. Obviously, their whereabouts have been exposed.

"I don't think these things are in the style of Sakaduum people." Xing Tianyu said suddenly while walking.

Although the Sakadumu people themselves are also very weird, whether it is the scenes Xing Tianyu saw in his dreams in the past, or the ancient memories he obtained when he was learning the Sakadumu characters, and the strangeness of this strange city. He feels that the people of Sakaduum are highly intelligent creatures with powerful psychic power and advanced technology, which makes people feel more like a mystical alien.

But the mucus in front of me, the red blood vessels on the wall, and those weird organs growing everywhere give people the feeling of an evil biochemical monster, and the styles of the two don't match at all.

Coupled with the fact that the city was empty, Xing Tianyu felt that something must have happened in the city.

Xing Tianyu had a faint feeling that perhaps the reason behind this was the reason why the Nightmare King had lived for millions of years. The reason why he survived from the ancient times must have undergone some kind of mutation, which made him in Sakadu Among the Mu people, they have also become an out-and-out alien.
